Gold Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This article gives a brief overview of the chemistry of gold-fluoro compounds known to date. The synthesis, structures, reactivity and computational results of gold fluorides are reviewed, discussed according to the gold oxidation state. The literature up to (and including) 2003 has been covered.

Additional information

Fabian Mohr is a graduate from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia where he also completed his PhD working on cyclometallated gold complexes. Currently, Fabian is working with Professor Mariano Laguna at the University of Zaragoza, Spain where his research is focused on the development of water soluble gold complexes as homogeneous catalysts as well as the characterisation and isolation of catalytically active intermediates. Outside the laboratory, Fabian is an accomplished harpsichordist and organist performing regularly as soloist and with baroque ensembles.
